I'm currently a 10th grader in a public high school.In 9th grade i got a C for first semester in Bio H and two Bs for second semester(rest are As).....which is a 3.6 unweighted....I heard if I have a C that i barely have a chance at ivy leagues or any top schools like Berkeley, or Stanford. Right now i'm struggling with a C+ in my trig h class...everything else I have a A in...i have three honors and one AP, I'm also in NHS and other top clubs, along with community service...Can someone tell me the extent of the damage to my chances at a top school IF i happen to get a C in 10th grade? I'm also taking CM Piano level 8 examination, SAT II Chemistry and SAT II World History this year, and have trained summer for SATs....my diagonstic SAT I is around 1900s. I had sport last year but my mom forced me out.

Fertility drugs have greatly increased the incidence of multiple births. When more than two embryos share the uterus, the incidence of premature birth and developmental problems increases substantially. The medical cost of caring for multiple premature infants is staggering. When fertility drugs produce multiple embryos, the physician can selectively eliminate some of these embryos early in development, so the remaining few have a better chance to develop fully and normally. Given these facts, discuss the ethical implications of taking fertility drugs.

I'm Active Duty Air Force and have enough time to attend the classes but wonder if it will be too much of a work load for me. I took 2 online classes History and English at once and pulled off A's for both classes. The 3 classes I'm considering taking are Intro to college writing, Organizational Management, and an Electronics Class/Lab (all 3 are classroom NOT online classes). I'm really just concerned with getting a lot of home work from these classes, will they have a load of homework?

Be it enacted by the student Congress assembled that
1 Section 1: Embryonic stem cell research will be defined as research involving the use of stem cells from a human embryo to study for future regenerative and reparative medicine.

The Federal government will fund this from the general budget.
This bill will take effect November 1, 2007.
